Go honeymoon

People asked how did I get cheap Krabi honeymoon package. The secret — Air Asia Go Holiday

What I did was go online and Google the chepest flights to Krabi that I can find. My calculation lead me back to Air Asia. To simplify matters – I opted for go holiday package where the whole thing is bundled with the hotel stay so you get cheaper rates for  both hotel n flights.

Other way you can do to get cheap hotel rates is to use online site like Booking.com or PYOTravel.

For tour packages — I find it cheaper to buy it from local traders rather than arranging it online. Package like island tours etc — you can get a better deal by bargaining in person with the locals. BUT if you tak reti nak bargain or haggle — try to get your hotel ppl arrange for you. They are always willing to help.

For places like Bali and Phuket — try find out which spa that the local frequent to or the restaurants that the locals flock to. Usually – it is cheaper and better than the usual tourist digs.

Next year punya plan – I want to try arrange for a trip to australia on shoestring with hubby. But rasanya plan kena postpone pasal nak simpan duit for the house. I have millions of ideas for the new house from the kitchen to the living room to dining room.

Man – so excitednya. The loan for the house dah settle. Tinggal nak sign the sales and purchase agreement next week. Toodles.

My favourite pic

Glitter up your wedding outfit with beads

Pics taken from Beadmeplease.blogspot

Beadings are simple ways to glamorize an otherwise simple outfits or plain white tudung. A good option if you do not want fancy cuttings for your nikah or engagement outfit. You can either learn to bead your tudung or selendang yourself or commission a tailor to do it.

Another method – you can use these iron on rhinestones or diamantes.

How to get it?

I found a seller on ebay

Or you could also get it at Jalan TAR or Jalan Masjid India. It is one of the smalle corner shops that sell Korean costume jewellery and brooches.

2nd trip to future house

Or at least the show house of my future house. Hubby wants to take pictures of the house. Being an engineer he proceed to take pictures of every light point, electrical point, wall and fixtures. I find it really cute.

Macam2 pose ada. Sorry hubby — kena gak letak kat blog. Luv u..

This is from his camera – me caught taking pictures of him taking pics.

Went with my mum too. I am trying to convince her and my dad to get a house in the same area. The place would be also near to my elder sister’s apartment (which will be ready by next year).

Our actual house is actually in the middle of the row behind the show house. Yes, the house is already up but not fully finished. Expected completion end of next year or the latest middle of 2011.

Already applied for loans, took out money from ASB for the 10% deposit. Will be taking out our EPF after we get the S&P. Buying a house entails so much money and extra payments. Hopefully what we have is enough.

At these times, I am glad I did not splurge so much on the wedding. Yes ppl — the thing that you should splurge on is on your future house and home — not on wedding decor or outfits.

Krabi Honeymoon Last Part

Delayed.. but dah janji will post it right.

So let’s flashback to the last day of my honeymoon trip. The last day we went to Phi Phi Island which was so damn pretty

Felt like going there again

Rock climbing monkeys!

Beware of the tsunami. I read that the whole island was hit back then. The damage was devastating but they managed to build everything back from scratch.

the sailboat was awashed to shore after a strong rain storm the night before. Phi Phi beach were gorgeous with white sandy beach and clear blue water. I loved it.

The nicest part of the Phi Phi trip was at one point the boat stopped in the middle of the ocean and we just jumped off the boat. we got to snorkel and see the nicest corals — live ones with pretty Nemo fishes. But no turtles.

If you look closely – there’s a chicken head in the middle of the island. That’s  why this island was called Chicken Island – LOL

Some ppl opted to do the elephant or jungle trip. Me and hubby love snorkelling more so we only opted for snorkelling trips. But if I am going to Krabi again, I wanted to go to the hotspring or the Emerald pool. People said the waterfall there so gorgeous.

Let’s design your dream kitchen

Played around with the Ikea Home Planner programme to design our kitchen. Looks nice. Decided to get a granite top with black panel and aluminium handles. The space left in the middle is where the hood will go. The programme calculated it’ll cost me for everything about RM9K… Mmmmm… Now have 1 year to save up for dream kitchen and in the meantime get quotes from kitchen shops. 1 year goes really fast – I mean I prepared my wedding over 1 year and that year just disappear in a blink of an eye. Now, we are one month short of 6 months of marriage — Time sure flies so fast right.

Big dreams right… 1 step at a time

First step to our dream house

Hubby and I paid the booking for the Alam Budiman home today. Also took my Mum In Law to see the show house and I could see she’s excited as well. There’s no turning back now. Frankly I am scared – our money is just enough to get the house. After this – money would be tight. But I do foresee that it’ll be worth it at the end. The house is beautiful and it will be all ours at the end.

BTW – this is a good time to buy house with the BLR low. Plus, really should plan to buy a house soon once you can afford it.

Suria 2 – design atap dia senget sikit

We picked Suria 1 design.

My mum in law checking out the house

The dining area is a split level higher than the living area. I like the divider thingie and will definitely inspired to have the same thing in my future home

The master bedroom is huge

Bad news — the back area is very cramped – only enough space for a washer machine. No space for further extension. No ’soil’ –> no space to do gardening at all. Not that I mind.

I’m happy and am very broke. And I love my hubby.

Taking it slow one at a time. It’s a looong journey

Searching for our dream home

Suria 1

Went to see show houses with hubby today. Actually dah berkenan kat area Alam Budiman ni before we got engaged lagi. But the house that I liked already sold out. I thought no chance for me to get a house in this area.

Then we heard that they have a new  lauch so we went and really liked what we saw.

Other houses we surveyed is Avina Desa Coalfield and Phase 3 Saujana Utama. Saujana Utama houses almost sold out despite show house not even ready. Good concept and the fact that Saujana Utama is a maturing neighbourhood contributes a lot. Avina – nice house tapi kurang berkenan the fact that the stairs is right in the middle of the house and the kitchen is open — directly connected to the hall.

Hubby is set on Alam Budiman so… I guess we’ll see if we are going to put down our booking soon.

To encik hubby…

I am what I am..

Not this gorgeous, super organised, smart, sweet girl that you really want…

I am just this normal geeky girl who are super messy, whiny, spoilt crybaby.

I want to improve for you… I am trying to…

but when you comment about it… it made me feel that I am not good enough for you in some way.

And if I am not good enough — why you still say you love me and want me…

I got the video and the finished album

After months of waiting.. Fairuz finally drop off my wedding album and video DVD at my house. Hubby don’t want to watch the vid as he finds it weird watching any pics or video with him in it. Also the reason he finds it weird looking at our own wedding pics. Really I do not know why.

The video is loooong… Lots of Mocca + Jason Mraz songs. Happy…

I’ll upload pics of the album later ok.

Sempena hari raya – I present to you proof that my hubby really can cook. LOL. He made nasi tomato with ayam masak merah and kari daging. The cooking-challenged wife did the desserts which were agar2 laici, bread pudding and acar timun + carrot. We made this when our Seremban family came to our home during the 2nd raya weekend. Enjoy…

Tried to take a picture of the cook in action but unsuccessful.

First Raya with hubby

We ended up beraya at both of our kampungs on 1st day of Raya. Pagi kat seremban – petang kat kuala kubu bharu. LOL so no gaduh2 ok. Nasib baik kampung dua2 dekat.

Actually asalnya plan balik seremban jer but tetiba tgh tgh bulan puasa tu (I think tgh PMS kut) I rasa sebak bila fikir this raya I won’t be able to raya with my grandma’s ketupat & kuah kacang. My hubby lak bila dah tgk me tahan2 nangis tu.. pujuk aa… kita pergi kuala kubu after balik seremban time petang raya pertama. Automatic – happy balik.

Hubby — kita raya macam ni every year boleh kan kan kan…

I was working on Malam Raya so hubby had to pick me up at the hospital that Raya morning. He looked so cute in his baju melayu. I like….! But sadly this guy already announce that he rather not wear full baju melayu for next Raya. He prefers only wearing baju melayu with kain pelikat and I was like what the nya!!!!! No way, raya kena pakai baju melayu ok. Nanti the wifey pakai baju kurung vogue +++ but hubby pakai kain pelikat… ishk.. sungguh tak sesuai…

Next year have to plan baju raya early so baju raya — not same colour but at least matching not clashing colours. I am thinking of him wearing maroon baju melayu while me wear sumthing pink or purple.

Weekend ni orang nak beraya rumah kita. Hubby nak masak nasi beriani. BTW – my hubby masak best.. Wifey nya masak hampeh. LOL
